I got my original device (PRS-500) in Sept. 2007 when I was still getting school loans. When I upgraded to the 505 in Feb. 2009, it was a birthday present from my parents. I'm now graduated with no career. I work at a hotel front desk for $8.50/hr and avg. 26hrs per week during the winter. That doesn't give me enought money to pay my bills, forget extras such as books. My parents have to send me money every month to make ends meet. I can't afford $15 books. If publishers keep the price up on ebooks, even after the mm pback is released, I'lll just read new books from my library and get to know new authors (to me) from public domain books.
